VVIP...

A senior VIP will be visiting the office today and tomorrow. The moment we got to know that this VVIP will be visiting, it has got all of us busy. From updating the notice board to rolling out the red carpets, not the mention those hotels and limo arrangements. All the Managers and above are required to put on a suit today. Email has been blast to all employees inbox on the DOs and DON'Ts. All these preparations and efforts are just for the 2 days visit by this VVIP.

With all the beautifying done, we are putting up a pretty facade to show this VVIP but is it worth it? Why can't we just be who we are and what we are? So if this VVIP decides to be based here, does this means that the whole company will continue put up with this? My Manager check each aisle to make sure everything is properly in placed, this action reminds me of school days, spot check.

At times like this, where all T&E budget is cut, increment is frozen and yet this VVIP still gets to travel the world via FIRST CLASS!! with 5* accommodations!! on company's expense!! OMG!! Sometimes I wonder, how would the company wants us as employees to react and continue to stay motivated when the low level employees are asked to cut cost but yet the big shots gets to travel in luxury...
